Funny, you could almost believe it was Noel G on that thread start.
Almost...

heard "As It Was" in the wild today (well, at the office) and it sounded fantastic.

i heard the album, which leaked awfully early. his best yet imo, consistent with a few stunners. enjoy that he seems to have crafted this low key solo career on his own terms, given the rank desperation given off by some of his former bandmates

"As It Was" seems programmed precisely for my ears but I'm cool towards it except as a radio jam.

also: i don’t remember thinking anything about the quality of his vocal in 1d but, at least on this record and the last one, now i love his singing?

Not bad.

yep.
re the album- some don't like his lyrics
NY Times review excerpt-
The wedding-band funk of “Daydreaming” and the lyrically inane “Cinema” feel comparatively frictionless, and display Styles’s unfortunate tendency to write lyrics that feel more like precisely posed Instagram carousels than conjurings of specific emotional states.
Washington Post excerpt- “Harry’s House” is a lyrically vague offering that sticks to you-know-I-love-you-babe platitudes. You won’t feel as if you know Styles any better when it’s over — a wise move for an overexposure-courting celebrity in a public relationship, but criminally deficient for a would-be confessional singer-songwriter.

I will note that precisely posed Instagram carousels DO conjure emotional states.

I didn't read the review, but I noted in mind how Styles is Heartstopper in human form -- and, boy, do precisely posed Instagram carousels advance its narrative.

mind = mine
don’t insult heartstopper like that

I listened to Fine Line a lot with my (now almost 14yr old) daughter during the first lockdown and I find the title track and 'Falling' almost unbearably poignant. We're listening to the new one now (bought her the vinyl) and it's sounding really good. 'Matilda' and 'Satellite' current standouts for me.
